China Entertainment: Return to 2007

Chapter 62 "Scary Every Step"

"Step by Step" is Tong Hua's pinnacle work.

This novel directly allowed Tonghua to become a god in Mianjiang, where great gods gathered.
And over the years, its popularity remains unabated, which shows its excellence.

The drama version of "Step by Step" perfectly restored 99% of the essence of the original work. To a certain extent, it even managed to win because of the blind sister's perfect performance.

The classicness of this work is self-evident;

Although when it first aired, because "Palace" was aired first and was also a clear-cut drama, more than half of its popularity was robbed.

But in the later period, relying on its high reputation, it counterattacked step by step and achieved the final peak of Sugar Man.

Xu Ge had long wanted to start this popular work, but he was too busy to take care of it.

Now I see the fish taking the bait on its own,
Of course he had to hold on to the fishing rod and reel in the line slowly.

.....................

Miro Cafe, British private room.

"Hello, Director Xu, I am Cai Yinong."

Sitting on the leather sofa, Cai Yinong looked at Xu Ge in surprise.

Although she had long known that Xu Ge was young and handsome, she was still slightly shocked when they actually met him.

If she hadn't known that Xu Ge was a newly famous director and the boss of Mianjiang, she would have been interested in signing him as Hu Ge's successor.

"Mr. Cai, I already know your purpose of coming. You must also know the excellence of "Bu Bu Jing Xin". I wonder how you plan to cooperate?"

Xu Ge smiled, took a sip of coffee, and asked calmly.

"30!" Cai Yinong waved his hand and said boldly: "Buy the three-year remake rights of "Bu Bu Jing Xin"."

Since the popularity of "Chen Qianqian" and Xu Ge's intention to tighten copyrights, the price of novel copyrights has skyrocketed!
Last year, the actual copyright for a remake of "Chen Qianqian" was only worth [-].
up to now,

It has directly increased tenfold, reaching the astonishing level of 30.

"Mr. Cai, I'm very satisfied with the price." Xu Ge smiled and seemed to have agreed to sell the copyright.

"Haha, Director Xu is quick to speak quickly. Then this matter is settled. I have brought the contract. How about you and I sign it?" Cai Yinong was slightly happy. She took out the contract from her bag and handed it to Xu Ge with a smile.

Xu Ge took the contract, nodded with a smile and said: "Don't be busy signing it, Mr. Cai, are you interested in discussing joint cooperation in the development of Mianjiang?"

"Developing Mianjiang? Director Xu, what do you mean?"

"It's very simple. I publish the rights, the scripts, the people, the promotion and sales, and you contribute the money and efforts. Together we develop projects including "Step by Step", "A Little Smile Is Allure", "A Thousand Bones of Flowers", etc. The most popular female channel masterpiece."

Cai Yinong: "..."

"What about the income?"

"You and I are half and half."

Little fox, I contribute money and effort to help you beat people and make money, why do you think I’m the one who’s been taken advantage of?
Cai Yinong sneered: "Director Xu, your appetite is too big, right?

Cooperation is possible, I will provide money, effort, and people to promote and sell, and I will get [-]% of the profit. "

"Mr. Cai, if you are like this, then we have nothing to talk about." Xu Ge did not hesitate at all. He said directly: "You know exactly how valuable these novels in Mianjiang are.
"Chen Qianqian" earned nearly 2000 million for China Television in just one round, plus the second, third and later rounds,
The net profit is at least over 3 million!

If Mr. Cai is not willing to cooperate, then forget it. Anyway, China Television and Huayi are very interested in them, and I have no shortage of partners. "

Of course Xu Ge was deceiving Cai Yinong with his words.
China Television holds the copyright to Jin Yong’s drama and does not attach great importance to Jin Jiang’s novels. Now it is in a quagmire. It is almost impossible to make any big moves this year.
Huayi has a great career, and most of its main force is in movies. It has spent such a high price to develop Mianjiang novels that have not been truly proven.
It's a thankless job for both parties.

But Xu Ge knows these things,
Cai Yinong is not very clear.
She was deceived, hesitated, and then said: "You and I will use "Bu Bu Jing Xin" as a pilot. I will provide money, people, and efforts to sell, and you will publish the copyrighted script to promote it, and the net profit will be divided into [-] and [-] percent." We'll each contribute half of the money, and I'll give you [-]% of the net profit!" Xu Ge didn't give in.

"I will contribute [-]% of the money, you and I will share [-]% and [-]%, and I will contribute [-]% and you will share [-]%."

"The female lead belongs to you, the male lead belongs to me, and the remaining leading role will be half and half, and the net profit will be split [-]-[-]. If it doesn't work, forget it. I'll find a new owner!" Xu Ge calmly spit out the ultimatum.

"Deal!" Cai Yinong gritted his teeth and finally nodded in approval.

that's it,
Cai Yinong fell step by step into the big pit Xu Ge deliberately dug for her.
Waiting for "Bu Bu Jing Xin" to be a big hit,
The value of copyright is truly reflected,
Xu Ge didn't believe that Cai Yinong would be unmoved by the rest of the novel.

And once she tastes the sweetness,

The company's other projects here are coming to the fore one after another, so we will definitely try to continue cooperation.
at that time,

I want a [-]-[-] split, hehe, but it’s not that cheap...

After returning from rebirth, with Mianjiang in hand, he really has no shortage of big-hit projects.

All he lacks is funds and talents.

Especially the latter,
Xu Ge couldn't help but salivate when he thought of Sugar Man's top-notch directing and behind-the-scenes team.

Completely unaware of Xu Ge’s sinister thoughts,
Cai Yinong signed the contract with a happy face.

Her core behind-the-scenes director, Li Guoli and Lin Yufen, are very optimistic about "Step by Step".
Now it’s time for the Qing palace drama to explode again,

She was [-]% sure she could make a lot of money from this project.

Although half of the profits were given to Xu Ge,
But Xu Ge’s screenwriting talent has been tested by Chen Qianqian and Wan Wan long ago.
Xu Ge was also willing to contribute [-]% of the funds.

In other words,
The copyright, Xu Ge's script and publicity only account for [-]% of the revenue. This price is not outrageous.

"Mr. Cai, I will give you the script next month. You can prepare slowly first, and we will officially launch it at the end of July." After signing the contract, Xu Ge suggested.

"Okay, it just so happens that "Sword and Sword 3" will start filming soon, and "Step by Step" will be released in July." Cai Yinong nodded in agreement.

"Sword and Sword 3?" Xu Ge was moved when he heard this, and he suggested with a smile: "Have you chosen the role of Xuejian? Do you want me to recommend a best actress to you?"

"Of course I trust Director Xu's vision. I wonder which confidante Director Xu wants to pass judgment on?" Cai Yinong was playing tricks. Although Xuejian had already set his sights on Tang Yan, she was a well-rounded person and did not want to offend others easily.

"You know Yang Mi, I think she is quite suitable." Xu Ge smiled calmly.

Yang Mi?

Cai Yinong's thoughts moved, and she sighed: "She is indeed very suitable for Xuejian. I also asked people to interview her a few years ago, but Li Xiaowan refused to let her go."

"How about I persuade her for you?" Xu Ge said with a faint smile.

"Haha, I got what I asked for." Cai Yinong was overjoyed.

........................

At night, the imperial capital.

After returning from the filming of "New Red Mansions", Yang Mi was wearing loose pajamas and lying relaxedly on the sofa after taking a shower, enjoying her mother's massage.

"Mimi, take a good rest after filming Red Mansion. You are famous now, so don't work so hard." Mother Yang said with concern, rubbing her daughter's pink shoulders.

"There are still two years left in the contract, and Li Xiaowan won't let go. What can I do?" Yang Mi sighed softly.
